    Calico Creek - Hole 12  Signature Hole?

    Calico Creek - Hole 12 Signature Hole?

    Hole 12 is a classic New England woods hole. Not only is this whole visually striking, in a tight match a two shot swing is possible. Towering ancient pines, oak, birch, and beech define the fairway. A well thrown tee shot will result in a birdie look. A errant toss and a bad kick will leave you struggling to avoid bogey. From the back tee it's 246' slightly downhill technical shot from a finely crafted turf tee box, with plenty for room for a run-up and follow through. You
    Calico Creek - Hole 11

    Calico Creek - Hole 11

    After pretty much climbing the ridge along the creek for the past 6 holes, hole eleven becomes the first significant downhill shot of the round. It's 217' from the back tees, and 171' from the green. The most generous line is a big right-to-left, a basic hyzer for a right-handed backhand from both tees. There is also a more direct line, especially from the green tee. There is some low scruff on this "straight line", plus some high branches that can swat a careless tee sho
    Calico Creek - Hole 10

    Calico Creek - Hole 10

    Hole ten is a fairly short hole with the best line playing slightly from left to right. Anything on the right side of the fairway risks getting swatted down by an early tree. A few trees to the left of the basket can make for some challenging "edge of the circle" putts. The biggest challenge here is to realize the elevation gain's effect on your tee shot. Just 164' from the green tee, and 233' from the back red tee, this hole plays much longer.

    Calico Creek - Hole 9

    Calico Creek - Hole 9

    You’ll have a bit of a hike from the eighth hole basket to hole nine. Once you get the to the tees, you will realize this hole has completely different personalities depending on which layout you are playing. From the short “green” layout, it’s a straight ace run, just 152’ with generous lines to the basket. It plays slightly uphill, and there are still a few tree stumps in the fairway that will cut off any skips, but it’s still a good ace/birdie run for a solid rec play. F
    Calico Creek - Hole 8

    Calico Creek - Hole 8

    Just a short walk after putting out on 7 you'll find the nice stone-framed tee box for the 8th hole. It's a 207 foot toss, with a single tee for both the green and red layout. The fairway initially slopes down to the creek, then finishes rises to finish slightly uphill to a basket well protected by some trees. The throw must cross Calico Creek, which, depending on the time of year, may be six or seven inches for flowing water or be just a dry bed. In either case, it plays
